I finally got the repositories to work...

Installed Python, Pidgin, Mplayer, UKMP,

Then when installing KMplayer i get a install error, and now my application manager is f-ed.

I load it, it says "operation failed" I click ok , go to show installed apps, nothing... install new apps, nothing.


LOG says this:

osso-application-installer 4.22.1 UI version1
E: Problem parsing dependency Depends
E: Error occurred while processing telepathy-gabble (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened

Am I screwed?

Please Help!

Sometimes if you look at the error message from the log, it will tell you which repository is giving the trouble, Menu>Tools>Appl manager>Tools>Log. If not clear, then you would have to do it one by one as suggested by TA-t3.

Hope this helps,

two ways to take care the appl manager problem:
1) try to clear the offending log, if sucessful, then close, show installed appl, and uninstall any prog you want.
2) Menu>Tools>Appl Manager>Tools>appl catalog, hi light the offending repo, edit>uncheck Enabled. If the log does not give clear message about which one is the offending repo, then you may have to enable/disable the repo one by one. Once the offending repo is disabled, then you will be able to refresh appl manager, and Show installed appl, and uninstall any prog you want.


Hope this helps.

It is a very common, hope the above takes care of your problem in a simple way. I guess ArnimS way is more straight foreward if you are good at Debian.
